Checking in on 138 Seeley
Last time we looked, in July of ’07, 138 Seeley in Windsor Terrace was a construction site. The 12,253-square-foot, three-story, nine-unit building, designed by Van Brody (and in keeping with his non-contextual aesthetic), had been in the works since 2003. Well, the building is long finished but not yet occupied; according to folks at Bergen…

Well, the building is long finished but not yet occupied; according to folks at Bergen Basin Realty, the units went on sale three months ago, and “a couple of offers” have been made, but no sales yet. Prices range from $629,000 to $799,000, and it looks like they’re all two-bedrooms.

My biggest problem with this building is the ugly gold sign out front that says 138 seeley street condominium! lmao as if it wasn’t obvious enough!! It should have had regular windows, that open up and down- these windows make it look like a hotel. The color and style of the gate is gross, the landscaping is half-assed- and do they wonder why nobody wanted to buy?
no one has mentioned that this structure faces the Prospect Expressway! Even though it’s submerged at this point, the traffice noise can still be heard.
Seeley street is a beautiful street with small 1x family houses, and these guys built this horrible thing right at the corner. Who the hell is Van Brody and how can he ever be so blind…Did anyone teached him what architecture is about? Harmony? Hellooo!
I’m not surprised nobody bought anything there, when i entered the building it and raised my eyebrows at their pricelist… 1st thing i was told without i even say a word was that prices are negociable.
Well! To make me buy there, you’d have to tore down the building and build it again…Sorry! You failed!
looks like a lost college dorm
You are not seeing the whole picture, and if you had a wide shot of it it actually is not as bad as it seems, it just needs some shrubs and trees. It’s actually a very impressive thing to see as you approach it, but it is not a charming as the rest of the street it is on.
Yo. That is some fuglyness. le graffiti palette.
umm. oh my.
” We were biking down (up?) Driggs Avenue a few days ago when this new addition at 580 Driggs Avenue caught our eye. As we were photographing it, the owner and her daughter walked up. It turns out they’re just finishing up the renovation now. We like how the three floors read as three separate blocks. What do you think?”
Just so we are clear, crap is crap. There is no distinction between the two.
